What’s Lactoferrin and why is it important to you?

Tired – is there a reason?

There’s a new lactoferrin in the Nikken neighborhood and we’re super excited about it. Kenzen® Lactoferrin 2.0 addresses the body’s need for iron: iron deficiency can result in anemia, fatigue and poor circulation, as well as many other physical discomforts. Women are most vulnerable to iron deficiency, and people who are very active may also suffer from iron depletion. Kenzen® Lactoferrin 2.0 is a great solution.

Iron focus and still anemic?

Lactoferrin is a protein whose main biological function is to bind and transport iron.  It’s an essential mineral that helps hemoglobin carry oxygen from the lungs to the rest of the body. No matter how much iron is in your body, if it can’t be retained and utilized, you could end up deficient!

You may eat lots of green, leafy vegetables,and/or lean red meat. These are natural sources of iron. But your doctor runs a blood test and announces you’re anemic. How can this happen? Just because you eat iron-rich foods does not mean your body can absorb or process it.

The Solution

Lactoferrin 2.0 addresses this dilemma by providing a superior delivery system to allow the body to better utilize and balance the iron in the body.* Studies show that because Lactoferrin 2.0 is naturally iron-binding, it has a positive effect on iron absorption, which in turn increases blood iron levels.

In addition, Lactoferrin 2.0 is gentle on the digestive system, therefore supporting the gastrointestinal tract and all its functions. Rather than adding elemental iron —the kind you find in virtually every iron supplement on the market—which has been shown to cause intestinal inflammation1, lactoferrin helps the body absorb what is already there—and importantly, without upsetting the stomach. And, Lactoferrin 2.0 has been shown in clinical research to be more bioavailable, allowing for more efficient absorption of iron, compared to other iron sources.2

Just take a look at the graph:

You get 200 mg of lactoferrin in each capsule.  Each capsule is lactose-free, gluten-free and  non-GMO. It’s a better delivery system with 4 organic antioxidant, anti-inflammatory ingredients (see Brain-Gut Connection) which equals increased access to Active Wellness and more importantly, your improved health!!
